ACQUIS is an international law firm headquartered in Brussels.

Our dedicated sanctions and export control team, composed of seasoned sanctions lawyers, compliance experts, government affairs specialists, and researchers provides comprehensive legal and compliance services to clients worldwide on a broad range of sanctions and export control-related matters.

The distinctive feature of our sanctions practice is our rigorous focus on minimising the “grey area”, i.e. the uncertainty regarding the scope of prohibitions and requirements arising from the sanctions and export control rules. While ensuring our clients’ full compliance with applicable regulations, we also help companies avoid unnecessary over-compliance and self-sanctioning, which is often observed in the area of sanctions and export control.

We have advised clients in a wide range of sectors, including financial services, energy, technology, transport, chemicals, agriculture, engineering and construction, and defense. Our clients benefit from our long-standing experience representing and advising a wide range of companies on complex and technical issues related to sanctions and export control, where we also closely collaborate with leading sanctions experts in the US and other jurisdictions.
